The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced Wednesday that a $15 million grant from the Administration for Children and Families will fund a National Indigenous Domestic Violence Hotline.
​
“By creating the first National Indigenous Domestic Violence Hotline, the Trump Administration is responding to decades of tribal leaders’ advocacy for dedicated American Indian and Alaska Native domestic violence services,” said Andrew Gradison, acting assistant of the Administration for Children and Families. “This investment ensures that Native survivors – many of whom live in rural or under-resourced areas – have access to 24/7 lifesaving support.”
